Dear Netter,

        I am setting up a Internet mail server with possible 200 accounts
in the English Department. As the mail server will be used to teach
E-mailing through Internet, there will be at least 30 users login in at one
time and 60 at the worst case. I would also like to set up TELNET, FTP, NEWS
and GOPHER client on the system as well. The system will be used only for
mail and related services.

        Please give you suggestion as to which Unix(386BSD, Linux, NetBSD, etc)
is best for our purpose and what sort of operatinal minimum hardware do I need
to set up such system. The system has to be as trouble-free as possible since
it will be looked after by a group of liberal arts undergraduates.

        Thank you very much.

        Tim Chen
